Hmm, time for a change??

If I'd have wanted a job with animals I'd have taken job at a zoo or safari park but just recently it feels like I spend too much time getting human animals to behave themselves for long enough to learn something than actually teaching. Sixteen years into the profession I find myself seeking help from someone who has not been doing the job as long as i have and has got to the position they are in by sucking up to the boss. Don't get me wrong the advice is sound but to take it from someone who was still in school when i started teaching is demoralising. Every profession has its share or creeps and crawlers but sometimes they really get up your nose. Well I guess I have little or no choice but to go along with the suggestions but quite frankly I don't believe anyone who comes to observe a lesson and who says I'm watching the kids behaviour and not how well you teach, it simply can't be done the two are so closely intertwined, so my ability to teach is going to be judged by a thirty something upstart DRAMA teacher who thinks he knows all there is to know about teaching, which quite frankly is crap. How a DRAMA teacher can tell anyone how to teach is beyond me in a subject where freedom of expression is the norm and desks are unheard of!!! Still means I have to put twice as much effort in as usual and maybe god forbid write a full lesson plan aarrrggghhhh!!!!! Well read later to find out what happens and if the upstart knows the job as well he professes.
